Sony getting away with paid online is the greatest current gen achievement so far.

For two generations people called MS greedy for paid online services. Taking that idea is now an achievement for Sony?

Also, you shouldn't call it an achievement. Since its Sony, it should be called a trophy.

I still call MS greedy! And I also call Sony greedy! Luckily I'm not that much into online games, so I just don't subscribe most of the time. Only here and there when there's a decent game in the package. I would never pay solely for playing online. That's just a rip-off. It's also the reason why I never buy a year in advance or stuff like that. You may say it's cheaper in the end, but I have no idea what games I will get in that time! Could be really good games, could also only be bullshit. So I decide from month to month when I actually know what I'm getting.

Oh, and for both Microsoft and Sony, I think they should change the way they charge for online play. There are dozens of time when I have like 2-3 weeks no time for playing games. If I subscribed a month in that time for playing online, I could only use it for a week! Why don't they give you a certain amount of time that will only decrease when you are actually playing online? That way I could just buy myself 10 hours and would be good for a whole year.
